MMOG Elections - Sen. Barack Obama vs. Sen. John McCain

[Jono]

i like mccain better

[LolWut]

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaw, I'm too late for the debates. ):

I'm glad that Obama won, but I'm sort of sad that Michelle Bachman(the congresswomen who said some members of congress were anti-american) won in her district. @_@ HEY MICHELLE, THE ONLY ANTI-AMERICANS I KNOW ARE THOSE SEPARATISTS IN ALASKA. Poor Tinklenburg. ): On the bright side, Democrats have a majority in the senate and in congress. 8D

GOBABA(go Obama)!

On a side note, it's unfortunate that Obama's grandmother died the day before the election. ):

[xKakashi]

Senator Barack Obama is my Idol and Hero. Yes we Did

Those kids are several years late, they probably weren't even born. I'm enjoying the newest South Park right now. Great stuff to make fun of how everyone is behaving over the election, I'm just glad it hasn't got as bad as it did in South Park XD

He`s the most awesome president ever.

Also, prop 8 passed. That SUCKS. I hope something will happen and the court will deem it unconstitutional.

*mumbles curse words*

What does people marrying have ANYTHING to do with you? Leave them alone and let them marry! Also, trying to keep marriage "traditional"? PLEASE. If we kept the United States "traditional", we`d still have slaves because that`s the way things were.

While I'm not for or against the banning of their right to marry, I really don't think that the issue is as simple as "them getting married will in no way effect you!" or keeping marriage strictly "traditional."

First of all, there's an issue with your argument of "we'd still have slaves because that's the way things were." People against who are against gays are only arguing to keep ->MARRIAGE<- traditional. To treat as an all or nothing kind of situation doesn't really make sense.

Second, yeah, their marriage actually could effect other lives. It's more or less a gradual process, but allowing gay marriage would probably eventually lead more people to believe it is okay to be gay (I'm not going to argue if it is okay or if it is not), which puts fear into the anti-gays that they may have to deal with their children or grand-children living in a society that accepts homosexuality, and possibly having to deal with said children being gay themselves.

Third, I know you didn't post anything to bring this up but, gay people haven't exactly been the kindest toward religious folk either. That Massachusettes case where the two women sued the Church for not allowing them to get married was just wrong. If it's against the Church's morals to marry them, they should've just found another place to get married. But they didn't, they sued, and yes, they won. However, this kind of action just seems like an Atheist trying to push his ideals on a Christian. It's hypocrisy. This is only one example though, and I admit, I actually don't know a ton on this case, so feel free to point out any errors I made.

If we're gonna get into a prop 8 discussion we're gonna need a new thread

There is a highly chance McCain will die in office fast and then when his vice president takes over we will be screwed. You will see everyone crying right?

Obama got mine.

Agreed. More of them will become more open and I'd have to be wary of other guys in the locker room. THAT SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE. If 2 people of the same sex share a bond, thats what best friends are for.
